Google Pixel 3a and Google Nexus 6P both feature incredibly similar processing units, and although the Google Pixel 3a has more RAM, they both have the same number of cores.
The Google Nexus 6P features a bit better battery duration than Google Pixel 3a, because it has a 15 percent more battery size. The Google Nexus 6P shoots a little bit better photographs and videos than Google Pixel 3a, because although it has a tinier aperture which is worse for low light photography and video, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the Google Nexus 6P also counts with a larger camera sensor capturing higher quality pictures and a back camera with more mega-pixels.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Google Pixel 3a, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel 3a. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Google Pixel 3a, letting go a couple specs and features.
